Reserved

In addition to wanting to practice with an external flash and reflector umbrella, it’s been a while since I played with self-portraits. This dress with a lovely floral pattern provided the perfect inspiration to try some reserved and moody photography.

Strong contrast has always caught my attention, and frustration, as creating such photos hasn’t been practiced very often. That’ll hopefully change in time, as the sculptural quality of strong light and deep shadows is beautiful and interesting to admire.

Let’s be patient with ourselves as we practice, and continue to explore what catches our imaginations.
